When the Spike took control of the Draconian monarchy aka the horde dynasty it was barely a kingdom at all, greed was so rampant that the treasury was pillaged by the ex queen herself the dragons hoarded without restraint what was once a mechanism of defense had become a way of life. The resources of the kingdom were stripped giving cause to the name badlands, the dragons over hoarding allowed them to grow massive putting a strain on their environment and forcing them to migrate, leaving little room for trivial things like culture, science or agriculture.

Deciding a monarchy would exacerbate greed Spike gathered all the supporters he could and established a republic.

This group is dedicated to stories in which Spike controls or creates a government/country/landmass/faction republics preferred but hey any government is fine.
